AppleInsider reports senior VP of Warner Music Group, Elliott Peters, will reportedly leave the company in the next 30 days to start work at Apple. According to the report, Peters will be assigned the position of ‘Corporate attorney director for iTunes and Internet services’. A position which will be ran from offices based in Luxembourg.

Peters has been with Warner since 2000, where he eventually became the company’s first digital lawyer. A memo sent to Warner employees noted that Elliot “has had a hand in almost every major WMG digital deal.”

Those negotiations, undoubtedly, involved Apple a great deal, as iTunes is the top music retailer in the U.S., and is expected to eclipse CD sales entirely by the spring of 2011.

Elliott was credited with his involvement in a range of “important corporate transactions,” including Columbia House Music and Video Clubs, Word Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Publications. He also helped to build Warner’s Digital Legal Affairs team.
